Bodily injury liability can help cover medical expenses for those injured in an accident you cause. Property damage liability helps cover damaged property or car repairs (not including your own car) that you're responsible for. And medical benefits coverage can help pay for your medical expenses after an accident, regardless of fault.

When you choose coverages on your Pennsylvania car insurance policy, you can select higher limits than what's legally required for more financial protection in the event of a claim.

How fault and the right to sue work in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania is a no-fault state, which means that your insurer will initially help pay your medical expenses regardless of who caused the accident. That part's simple.

Less simple is your choice between limited right to recover damages and full right to recover damages. If you select the limited option, your premium will likely be lower but you won't be able to sue an at-fault driver for pain and suffering unless the injuries reach a certain severity.

Full right to recover damages allows you to sue for any post-accident expenses plus pain and suffering, which is considered "non-monetary" damage in car-insurance speak. Selecting the full right to recover damages typically increases your premium.

No-fault doesn't apply to property damage (like a dinged-up car). The at-fault driver will generally be responsible for paying damages, which is where property damage liability can step in to help.

First party benefits medical coverage

"First party" refers to you and those covered by your policy. First party benefits coverage (FPB) offers financial protection in case you're injured in a car accident (regardless of who caused the accident).

Your FPB can be used to help pay for:

Medical and dental treatments

Hospitalization expenses

Nursing services

Prostheses

Pennsylvania drivers are legally required to maintain at least $5,000 in FPB medical coverage. Esurance customers can choose a limit as high as $100,000.

optional esurance coverages

Esurance offers a variety of additional optional coverages, which can give you added protection and peace of mind if you need to make a claim:

First party benefits – accidental death

First party benefits – extraordinary medical benefits

First party benefits – funeral

First party benefits – income loss

Combined first party benefits coverage

Comprehensive coverage

Collision coverage

Uninsured motorist (UM) bodily injury liability coverage

Underinsured motorist (UIM) bodily injury liability coverage

Stacking uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage

These optional coverages protect you from uninsured drivers. With Esurance, you can choose to "stack" your uninsured motorist coverage if you have at least 2 cars on your policy.

Here's an example of how stacking works:

If you stack $25,000/$50,000 of coverage per person/per accident on 2 cars, you have $50,000/$100,000 of coverage after an accident

If you stack $25,000/$50,000 of coverage per accident on 3 cars, you have $75,000/$150,000 after an accident

In exchange for the added financial protection, your premium will likely increase if you select the stacking option.
